If you have learned to say the colors in Mandarin but want to write them by hand, this free printable Colors worksheet gives you 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grids for ten HSK 2 words — from 颜色 (yán sè, color) to 白 (bái, white). After finishing the page you will be able to write every basic color character from memory. You can also pair it with the HSK 2 lessons hub page to reinforce what you practice here.
The page covers ten color-related words drawn from the HSK 3.0 vocabulary lists and matched to SayMei's course weeks. You will trace and write:
The remaining four words — 白 (bái, white), 红色 (hóng sè), 白色 (bái sè), and 黑色 (hēi sè) — round out the set with the standalone character for white plus three color terms that use the 色 suffix.
Each word sits in 田字格 tracing grids with pinyin printed above. Begin by tracing the guided strokes to feel the proportions of each character, then write the same character from memory in the blank grids beside it. Say each word aloud as you write — pairing 颜色 (yán sè) or 红 (hóng) with your voice helps the strokes and the sound stick together.
